Rabbi’s Message

June is Gay Pride Month On Monday, June 6, 7:00 PM, there will be an interfaith service at Union Temple to reaffirm and celebrate our embrace of the LGBTQ community within the community of faith and hope. I will be joined on the pulpit by Rev. Ann Kansfield and Rev. Jennifer Aull, co-pastors of the Greenpoint Re-formed Church, and Sr. Bishop Zachary G. Jones, of the Unity Fellowship Church. Our Temple Musician Shinae Kim and Student Cantor Lauren Phil-lips have formed a vocal quartet for the occasion, including colleagues Cantor Joshua Breitzer and Pedro d’Aquino. The choir of the Unity Fellowship Church will also perform. A reception in the Temple Lobby will follow the service, which will be held in the Temple Sanctuary.

The service is sponsored by Brooklyn Pride, beginning a month of affirmation, celebration, and embrace. On Saturday, June 11, Union Temple will have a booth at the Gay Pride Parade and Fair. Watch my E-blasts for further details. The month will culminate for us when we come together again on Friday, June 24, for our Fourth Friday Shabbat. Dinner will be as usual at 7:00 PM, followed by our Shabbat Evening Service at 8:00 PM. Following the service there will be an Oneg sponsored by our trustee Andy Mirer, featuring a short video, It Gets Better, produced by the faculty, students, and administration of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. Nevertheless, we remember during Pride Month that same sex marriage is still not legal in New York State. We continue to lag behind Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, and the District of Columbia. On May 16, several of our congregants joined me in Albany, along with our friends in Reform Jewish Voice of New York State and Interfaith Impact of New York, to articulate and affirm our support for same sex marriage to those who represent us in the State Assembly and State Senate, and others who needed to hear the voices of support from people of faith across this state. Civil unions and domestic partnerships are NOT the same as marriages in terms of legal status. Indeed, there are some 1,300 legal issues that distinguish marriages from other types of unions. The time has come for New York to step up to the plate. God willing, Steve and I will have the pleasure later this month of celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary. We have en-joyed 31 years of all the rights and privileges, and yes, some of the challenges as well, that marriage brings to those of us who are blessed in it. But there are those within our own congregation, whom I value as my friends, and count among the finest human beings I know, who are blocked outside of a wall of injustice. Those of us who are women know a thing or two about walls. We who are Jews know a thing or two about walls. The time has come for our country to do the right thing. We, the members of the American liberal re-ligious community, will continue to advocate to our leaders until justice is achieved. Please make every effort to join us as a community of faith, hope, and Pride.

-Rabbi Linda Henry Goodman

Officer’s Column

Stepping Down but not Out

Celebrate Israel Parade Sunday, June 5th

• We’ll march with the Brooklyn congregations

• Meet us at the temple 12:30 PM or at the parade at 1:30 (54th & 5th)

• We’ll march under the Brooklyn banner and carry our

Union Temple banner too!

• Wear a T-Shirt with Union Temple’s logo on the back: $5.75 each.

Please call John to order.

Some people set out to be leaders, and some have leadership thrust upon them. I’m definitely in the latter cate-gory. One day in the spring of 2004 Mike Baron called me and said, "Here is a wonderful situation. Ilene and I are moving to Connecticut and you are moving into the presidency of Union Temple." So, without planning or foresight, I became Temple President.

Now, seven years later, we’ve reached the end of the road. I want all of you to know that I have enjoyed the challenge of being Temple President, and am most grateful for having had this experience and working with some very wonderful people

When I was installed as president I said of our congregation that "we recognize ourselves as heirs to and shap-ers of Judaism, as we explore our own experiences and integrate them into the tradition, we transform the tra-dition and shape it into something new. It is a difficult task – to be both the transmitter of tradition and the implementer of change."

To me, this exemplifies what we do here at Union Temple through our prayer services, our study of Judaism and our superb programs. Our achievements during the past seven years are congregational achievements that were made possible due to the collective efforts of innumerable congregants, along with our staff and Rabbi Goodman. Not one of them is a personal achievement; each and every one is a reflection of many minds which came together and in a team effort, concurred that Union Temple would be the better if it were done.

Some people have asked me if I’m happy to be so close to the end of my term, and yes, to some degree I am. I’m looking forward to having a little more free time. I’m also happy because I believe I did the best job I could as your president. I’m happy to be leaving Temple governance in the extremely capable and talented hands of Bea Hanks and wonderful officers and a strong and committed Board of Trustees.

There is an the old axiom that states, Jewish people say goodbye but never leave… Now, it is with absolutely mixed emotions that I’m saying goodbye to the presidency of Union Temple of Brooklyn. And while I am saying goodbye it is also true that I am not leaving Union Temple.

-Doris Klueger, President

Join us for a 3-hour guided walking tour of

Hasidic Williamsburg for members of Union Temple.

Sunday, June 12, 2011 at 11 AM

A guide who grew up in the Hasidic community will:

• Show us ancient mansions and brownstone row-houses, abandoned by Williamsburg's prior residents af-

ter immigrants starting moving in, in the early 20th century. • Describe first-hand the dynamic educational and social institutions

established by the Satmar's after World War II.

• Discuss the makeup of the contem-porary Hasidic landscape. Who are the major players? What do they stand for? Where do they live? How do we distinguish be-

tween them? • Acquaint us with Hasidic lifestyle, religion, custom and retail

consumption patterns. • Tell us about the original Jewish inhabitants of Williamsburg

were and how they paved the way for the successful establishment of the intensely separatist Hasidic Jewish

experience in post-WWII America. • Discuss the major political issues Williamsburg Hasidim have contended with over the

years: housing disputes, the incinerator, the bike lane, relations with Hispanics and Artists, modesty, Zionism, the Satmar Succession Feud and more.

To top it off, during our restaurant break he will provide a variety of authentic

Hungarian Jewish food.

If you are interested, please call the Temple office to sign

up. $30 per person

Our preschoolers were all happy to be back in school after spring break – and they are all wiser, taller, and cuter! In the Chickadees classroom, Montana Vazquez-Grinnell’s twos class, they are talking about spring with new books about gardens and seeds growing. They will be doing a little planting project so that they can watch a flower grow at home. The students have already created beautiful of cherry blossom trees using colorful cot-ton balls. The Chickadees are also doing a lot of talking about the importance of using your words to commu-nicate your feelings. Most of the Chickadees are now three (!) and there are a lot more social interactions hap-pening both positive interactions and some conflicts. They are really working on helping the children navigate these different situations so that they can better read their friends feelings, and so that they can develop their social and communication skills! On returning to school, many of the Sparrows and Starlings, Alex Beer’s twos and threes classes, remarked on noticing spring growth (at last) outside over the break, and several went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Thus, the classes created lovely cherry trees for the classroom walls, with torn-paper trunks and tissue-paper blossoms. It is amazing to see the variety of trees (and the differing perspectives of children) that can come out of one set of materials! Before moving on to summer, the children will record their own growth after observing changes they've made and steps they've taken since September, and create a timeline as a memento of this busy, wonderful year. The Robins, Christine Bardach’s threes class, were thrilled to play with their friends and get back into their school routine. One day, shortly after returning from break a few of the Robins were pretending to have a Pass-over Seder. They were all reading from a book that they referred to as “The Haggadah”. When one child started to sing the first of the Four Questions a few others joined in - it was quite amazing! The last unit the Robins will be studying is growth. They will be collecting and investigating many different kinds of seeds. After planting some of them, the children will be able to observe their growth and take part in caring for the seedlings. In addition to all of the special projects going on in our twos and threes classrooms, each of these classrooms will further explore growth by watching caterpillars metamorphose into butterflies over two weeks' time. They will read, sing, and do art projects all about butterflies, and at the end of this study they will take their class butterflies outside and set them free. Although school is beginning to wind down, the Hummingbirds, Pam Apple’s fours class, will be busy in the coming weeks. They are beginning to talk about leaving Union Temple and moving on to kindergarten. This is often a difficult subject that can create anxiety for the children. Our goal is to make the transition as stress-free for them as possible. Toward that end, the Hummingbirds class will develop a list of things the children want to know about their new schools, e.g., Does it have a playground? Do they eat lunch in their classroom? They will then send letters to all of the schools that the children will be attending and ask that their current kin-dergarteners answer the questions. This will allow our students to have a little insight into what they can ex-pect in September. We are looking forward to the start of our summer program on June 13. Summer camp runs for seven weeks. There are half day and full day options. We still have some openings, so if you are interested call us at 718-623-1322 or email us at uniontemplepreschool@gmail.com to request an application. We also have one opening in our twos program for September. Please contact the preschool office by phone or email to arrange for a tour.

Happy summer.

Preschool

Growing in a Variety of Ways

Religious School

Siyyum: End of Year Roundup UT parents joined us in May for our final siyyum. We sat in a circle as the kids led us in the havdallah prayers and then adjourned to classrooms to learn together. Kitah Aleph and Kinder Kef created class murals showing the favorite things they learned this year. Kitah Aleph's mural shows Israel geography and topography, holi-days, Bible stories (favorite: Jonah and the Whale), Shabbat and havdallah. Kinder Kef's mural highlights the alef-bet, holidays, and Bible stories (favorite: Noah's ark). Check them out on our bulletin board! In tefillah, Rachel’s students talked about the meaning of each prayer: kol hakavod/great job! Students partici-pated in UT Mitzvah Day by polishing silver Torah ornaments. Ari’s class choir performed with our terrific song leader, Josh, who taught us a new song that exemplifies our UT Sunday school: Kehillah Kedoshah/holy community. We had a make-your-own-sundae bar. Our new family learning program was very successful. We celebrated Hanukkah together and joined for an all-school Tu biShevet Seder and a model Pesach seder, with matzo baking. Parents learned with their kids during the siyyum in December and May, and in our Sunday morning gatherings. I updated parents via weekly emails on school happenings. Kinder Kef: Allison’s students learned alef-bet with Pla-Doh and yoga poses, heard Bible stories, and did in-novative projects like “Shabbat-in-a-bag.” Allison is the new director of elementary learning at Temple Beth Shalom, Needham, Mass. We’ll miss her! Kitah Aleph (Ari’s class) did hands-on Bible learning: They talked about Creation and then discussed in what order they would have created the world; they learned about Noah and made arks with animal crackers; they built a Tabernacle with graham crackers. They did an alef-bet challenge; they learned the names of body parts in a Hebrew game; they made tzedakah boxes. UT is thrilled to have her with us again next year! Kitah Bet (David’s class) learned Hebrew language, script and grammar. They used a multimedia curricu-lum (www.g-dcast.com) to learn the Bible stories that shaped the Jewish people/calendar. Kitah Gimmel (Rachel’s class learned about Shalom Bayit (peace in the house); Mitzvot Bein Adam L'Chaveiro/La'Makom (how to behave to one an-other); holiday customs, rituals, significance. They studied the wisdom of Pirkei Avot (Talmud tips for good living), Parashat Hashavua/weekly Bible read-ings and Hebrew grammar. Personally, I was just ordained as a rabbi by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. I‘ll soon start work at a Manhattan nonprofit called Health-Care Chaplaincy, which does chaplaincy education, research and clinical practice. So I will not be able to serve as educator for UT's Sunday program. I very much regret leaving the kehillah kedoshah I have been privileged to serve this year.

Rav todot/ Much thanks for a terrific year!

Brotherhood

Sorting Things Out Thank you to all of our Mitzvah Day volunteers! It was great working with the religious school to gather donated children’s books and school supplies for the U.S. – Africa Children’s Fellowship. And Mazal Tov to our religious school principal, Rabbi Carole Gould, on her ordination.

Our annual Brotherhood Breakfast and election of officers will be on Sunday morning, June 5th. We will do a little advance planning for the coming year, too. Bring ideas for the kinds of activities, events, and book discussions you would like. See you there!

-Steve Segall, Brotherhood President

At last it's June! After a too-long winter and all-too-brief spring, we're all looking forward to summer. Thanks to Drs. Gail Levine and Robert Fried, who led us in Sisterhood's final program of this season, "Finding the Peace Within: Tools to Reduce Stress and Strengthen Spirituality," it should be a summer of relaxation and renewal. It was a delightful way to end our season, and, with the life secrets Gail and Bob revealed to us, we should all return in the fall with renewed energy and a more peaceful perspective.

Sisterhood is already deep in plans for another season of meaningful programs filled with learning, sharing, laughter, and surprises, and we know you won't want to miss even one. We hope that you'll be with us for them all as a member. Sisterhood bills will be mailed out this month. If you are not yet a part of our warm circle of friendship, please join now. If you are already a member, please renew promptly for next year. Membership is only $36. Just think—for only double chai you can perform the mitzvah of bringing hope and help where they are needed by adding your voice, your heart, and your hands to ours as together we reach out to help our tem-ple, our community, and our world.

Remember, too, that even during the summer you can make a contribution to Sisterhood's Memorial Fund, Hattie Newman Happy Day Fund, and Rose Keit Flower Fund. It's a beautiful way to remember loved ones and to mark happy occasions and at the same time to be a part of Women of Reform Judaism as we work to help others and to make our world a better place.

Have a terrific summer—and come back rested, happy, and ready to join us in another great season!
